Read all about the world record beating People's Premiere here.


Normal film premieres are glitzy and exclusive, with nobody invited except VIPs - but the People's Premiere is different: VIPs, IPs and plain old Ps are all welcome to the world's first INclusive film launch. Featuring synchronised screenings at a staggering 60 different cinemas across the nation. With a solar-powered cinema tent pitched in London's Leicester Square, the People's Premiere is also the planet's first truly green film premiere - no greenwash allowed.

Alexis: I'm a local councillor for Belsize ward in the London Borough of Camden, Camden Eco Champion, Chair of Camden Council's all-party Sustainability Task Force, a member of Camden's Development Control Committee (Planning), a Trustee of the Camden Green Fair, the largest free green awareness event in the UK, and the founder of a climate change consultancy called cuttingthecarbon. I used to be a high carbon international businessman and before that an equally high carbon BBC correspondent.
